In case you missed it, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s State of the Union guest is none other than Ana Maria Archila. Don’t recognize that name? That’s OK. You definitely know who she is. She’s the unhinged harpy who angrily confronted and harassed Jeff Flake in an elevator after he said he’d vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh.
This @AnaMariaArchil2, the NY-14 shero that will be accompanying me to the State of the Union tomorrow.
She wasn’t planning on leaping into that elevator ahead of the Kavanaugh vote, but after hearing the stories of survivors across the country, she went in.
A defining moment. https://t.co/J4J8xCii4n

That “defining moment” earned her Ocasio-Cortez’s mad respect. And it gave Ocasio-Cortez an excuse to tout her own record standing up for sexual assault survivors:
Let this be a reminder that the stories of survivors across the country will not be silenced, diminished, or forgotten. pic.twitter.com/9PhrgeYuHv

The thing is, AOC doesn’t seem to feel so protective of all survivors. Like the woman who claims she was sexually assaulted by Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax.
AOC brings up Dr. Ford and Justice Kavanaugh when talking about sexual assault, but completely fails to mention ANYTHING about what is happening as we speak with Democrat Lt. Gov. Fairfax in VA, despite it being almost exactly like the Kavanaugh situation. https://t.co/T9wilKQ3J1

Your silence is deafening @AOC.
You're using sexual assault as a political weapon. pic.twitter.com/li9tXHUY0c

So @AOC is bringing the protester who confronted Jeff Flake in the elevator over the Kavanaugh vote to Trump's SOTU tonight.@AOC has not said a word about Lt. Gov. Fairfax (Democrat), who is being accused of sexual assault in the same way as Kavanaugh: with zero corroboration.

It’s fine if Ocasio-Cortez doesn’t want to weigh in on the Fairfax situation until there’s conclusive evidence of his guilt. But if that’s the case, why didn’t she extend that same courtesy to Brett Kavanaugh?
That’s a rhetorical question of course.
Dems are literally using sexual assault as a political weapon:
AOC is bringing a Kavanaugh protester as her guest to tonight's State of the Union, but she hasn't said a single word about Lt. Governor Fairfax being accused of almost the exact same things.
Why? He's a Democrat.
